send searchterm to piwik

[Sebastian Wörner, modifié il y a 8 années.]

Hi,

i connected our Piwik system to our new Liferay sandbox system.
The user/visitor statistics works fine. To reach this, i used Site-Admin-> Config-> Site Settings -> Analytics and add the piwik code.

<!-- Piwik -->
<script type="text/javascript">
  var _paq = _paq || [];
  _paq.push(['trackPageView']);
  _paq.push(['enableLinkTracking']);
  (function() {
    var u="<url here>";
    _paq.push(['setTrackerUrl', u+'piwik.php']);
    _paq.push(['setSiteId', 4]);
    _paq.push(['setCustomVariable',1,"userName",themeDisplay.getUserName(),"visit"]);
    _paq.push(['trackPageView']);
    var d=document, g=d.createElement('script'), s=d.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
    g.type='text/javascript'; g.async=true; g.defer=true; g.src=u+'piwik.js'; s.parentNode.insertBefore(g,s);
  })();
</script>
<noscript><p><img src="<url here>" style="border:0;" alt=""></p></noscript>
<!-- End Piwik Code -->

Now i tried to transfer the search terms to piwik.
We used the search application with the Solr 4 App from marketplace (the search Solr/Lucene works with Liferay).
Unfortunately, i have no idea how to hook up, so that piwik can log the search terms from the user. I found no Javascript Field to add Piwik Code. It would be perfect if I'd noticed the number of search hits too.
Is this possible?

Thanks for helping :-)

You do it in line 11, adding your custom variable. Add one for the keywords and then pull them from the request params.

Hi,

thanks for the tipp.
I add following code

if (getURLParameter('_3_keywords')){
    _paq.push(['setCustomVariable',2,"search",getURLParameter('_3_keywords'),"page"]);
}
...
function getURLParameter(name) {
  return decodeURIComponent((new RegExp('[?|&]' + name + '=' + '([^&;]+?)(&|#|;|$)').exec(location.search)||[,""])[1].replace(/\+/g, '%20'))||null
}

and it works. I get the search terms in Piwik under 'Visitors' -> 'Custom Variables'.

Is there a 'smarter' way to do this? I would like to have the sum of hits per search term.
Is there a way to get this?

Thanks

The search tag ends up knowing the hit count, so you might be able to get access it to it to do the same as your keywords handling.
